Domaine Comtes Lafon Volnay Premier Cru 2020
Burgundy wine Volnay Premier Cru
A more elegant and wonderfully pure nose of red pinot fruit liqueur merges into rich, full and sweet flavors that possess lovely detail and a subtle minerality on the punchy, deep and long finish supported by relatively light but sophisticated tannins. I really like the balance here and this is a silky wine of refinement and class."
